Syria opposition threatens to quit peace talks amid Aleppo carnage

Fighting in Aleppo killed at least 22 civilians as the opposition delegation threatened Sunday to quit Syria peace talks in Geneva if there is no progress on a political transition. The opposition High Negotiations Committee said the indirect negotiations could collapse if Syria’s regime refuses to compromise on political and humanitarian issues. “We might suspend (our participation in) the talks if things carry on this way, and then there will be no prospect for any political solution,” HNC member Abdulhakim Bashar told AFP.
